Not General Burnside.


The truth of history and the facts of biog-
graphy are sometimes curiously distorted
through the carelessness of writer's whose ready
pens are aided by their ready imagination
Here is case in point A book entitled The
Life and Public Services of Ambrose E. Burn

the soft and languid style Of the South. She

A communication from Hon. John Yaryan of
Richmond, Ind, printed in the Liberty Herald,
gives the facts in the case. He says the woman
was Miss Carlotta NJ. Moon, of Oxford. O., but
tho man was not Ambrose E. Burnside. A
young doctor, Edward Doulin. OF %biberty, was
Miss Moons victim. She was IN agrant

USURPER SMITH.

Every person holding an Office must do so
de jure; second, de facto. and, third, as a
usurper. No other mode is known to the
law. One who holds Office de jure is clothed
with all the powers that right combined with
possession can give. One who holds de facto
is clothed with the powers possession can give,
such possession being obtained under color
of right A usurper holds without even any
color of right.
Under this definition, how does Mr. Green
Smith stand in relation to the office of Lieu
tenant-governorf He is not Lieutenant
governor de jure, for he has never been
elected to it, holds no certificate of election,
nor imminent of title; has never taken the
oath of Office, and, really, offers nothing sub
stantial in support Of his claim. Neither has
he possession of the Office. He is exercising
one Of the functions Of the Office, that of
President Of the Senate, but that is not the
office itself. To be Acknowledgements de

possession of the Office. He has neither.
But is he Lieutenant governor de factoa
To make him so, he must have possession
of the office, and exercise its duties under a
color of right derived from an appointment or
election. But he has not possession of the
office; he only has possession Of the chair of
President of. the Senate, and, by virtue of
that, claims to be Lieutenant governor. Such
a claim cannot give him a color of right
Therefore, he is not Lieutenant-gover de
facto. As he is not Lieutenant-go de
jure, orde facto, and, as he is claiming the
Office aud exercising one of the functions be-
longing to it, it follows that he is usurper
That is where he has placed himself; it is
where the law places him, aud where the
common sense and verdict of the people place
him. No decisionof any court can change
the moral status of the case, nor make his
claim to the Office anything but stencil in
the nostrils of honest men. We 60 further,

The Democratic newspaper organ. which
seems to have ''eaten of the insane root that
takes the reason prisoner" is endeavorinR to ex-
cite the hostility Of the Knights OF Labor against
Senator Harrison by recalling that during the
railroad strike OF 1877 he commanded company
of felow-citizens who turned out to protect their

to array the Knights of Labor on the side of vio-
lence and anarchy has not been made OF

made than for every knight of Labor to vote
for Senator Harrison; and aside from this they
couldn't 90 better thing. But in this behalf
they should administer a singing rebuke to the

THE COLOR QUESTION IN SCHOOLS.

At last there is in Indiana a general acqui-
escence in the law which opens all our public
schools to colored children. or otherwise pro-
vides equal advantages for them elsewhere,
and public opinion, if not personal convic-
tions has opened our highest colleges and
universities equally to men and women of all
colors. Just now there is lively discussion on
this question as affecting the schools under
the auspices of the Freedmen's Aid Society of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. Almost i'm
mediately after the close of the war that
church rushed into the South with her schools
of every grade for the freedmen. In many
instances the teachers were ostracised and often
driven away, but after twenty-five years there
is acquiescence in the schools, and they
are doing much good. Under the impulse Of
great charity some schools were founded for
the white people from the same fund It was
always objected to by large portion Of
the contributors to the freedmen's aid
fund, but no serious objection was raised
until a few months ago, when, at the school
at Chattanooga, worthy colored boy was
denied admission, and one of the professors
supported by this fund, refused to shake
hands with Methodist preacher because he
is colored man. As might have been ex-
pected, this has created thorough discussion
of the whole question, extending so far as to
embrace the propriety of opening all the
schools supported by the Freedman's Aid
fund equally to men and women withou9re-
gard to color. Indeed the late General Con-
ference expressly declared by resolution that
no student should be excluded from any
Methodist school on account of color This
resolution the local board of the Chattanooga
school has boldly defed, and has excluded
colored pupils. The question will not end
here. The executive committee of the Freed
| mans Aid Society asked the resignation Of
the professor who refused to shake hands
with the colored preacher, but the local board
has not forwarded the request, but returned
